Driver

27/2 2007 two Volvo 9700 collided in Rasbo between Öregrund and Uppsala. 6 persons were killed in the accident
The driver on the bus from Uppsala was convicted to suspended sentence in the district court (Tingsrätten) for negligence in traffic, negligent homicide and negligent injury.
Swedish Accident Investigation Board's report of the accident found numerous deficiencies on the buses, among other things water in the braking system and 19 belts were broken.
The female driver, appealed to the Court of Appeal (Hovrätten) where she yesterday was acquitted entirely, based on the accident report.

Accident report
Six dead in Uppsala bus crash

Note: I've used a translator to translate "vårdslöshet i trafik" "vållande till annans död" samt "vållande till kroppskada. Could be involuntary manslaughter, causing bodily harm, and reckless driving? Or is that american law?

PS. Why is the subject "Driver"?
